The Things I Love

These are the things I love: Eating Ice cream from the truck - Sweeter than groceries’ And when I catch it -thanks to luck- I beg… more! … please! These are the things I love: Midnight strolls and evening limes - Crumbled leaves, bumbling bees In spring, summer, winter times I beg… more! … please! These are the things I love: Sound of waves crashing on seashore Umpteen feet creating breeze; Following men of great lore I beg… more! … please! These are the things I love: Hovering birds which zip away - Hiding until one sees Because I haven’t this each day, I beg… more! … please! These are the things I love: The smell of fresh oak and pine O’ glorious are these trees Because forest ne’er be mine I beg… more! … please! These are the things I love: Water’s ripples at stone’s drop: An embrace spanning degrees! Because I can’t use hands to mop I beg… more! … please! These are the things I love: Hellos from the neighborhood Howdy do, a friendly squeeze Because times aren’t so good I beg… more! … please! These are the thing I love: Kisses from the misses on cheeks Nothing compares to these; For what is hers she sneaks… I beg… more! … please! Copyright © 2010 Leslie Alexis
